Hard Freeze Comes to North TX; Snow Accumulates Down South

Viewers across North Texas reported light snowflakes Thursday morning

Published Dec 8, 2017 at 5:40 PM

Some parts of North Texas saw a handful of snowflakes Thursday, and we'll have our first freeze of the season Friday morning.

But to see actual snow accumulation you would need to travel farther south. Austin, San Antonio and College Station all received up to an inch of snow after a strong cold front moved through Texas.

The National Weather Service warned travelers that bridges and overpasses in Central Texas could become slick overnight.

The NBC 5 Weather Experts say we won't see any snowfall accumulation in North Texas, and in fact the clouds will clear out overnight. That will allow the temperatures to drop below freezing for the first time in about 11 months at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. The stretch of 333 days between freezes at DFW is a record for our area.

Temperatures in North Texas will stay below freezing until around 8 or 9 a.m. Friday.

Milder weather will return for the weekend.
